Also had a look at the door below and there is cracking around the door frame internally. More on the left side than the right. I think this has also been there ages but I’ve not paid that much attention. Is that a concern or is it maybe related to the possible lack of lintel? I will be...

Pre-date the door installation? The door installation precedes us moving in so not sure. And tbh not sure about whether it’s before or after the window going in either. Sorry, between running around after small kids and general life I’ve not been paying all that much attention!!

So do you think we can take it out and fill ourselves? Tbh I don’t know if I would get up there with the ladder we’ve got. Will have to have a think!

Hello, It’s one of these again. I have a crack in an external wall which I think has been there for ages. Don’t think it’s changed and I never thought much about it. We are looking at replacing the patio doors underneath and so I figured I should actually think about it. The house is 1900 and...
